Channing Tatum Reflects on His Bizarre Lost City Scene with Sandra Bullock

by

Channing Tatum has appeared in many films, but one scene in particular has always stuck with him.

While on the web series *Hot Ones* with Sean Evans, Channing Tatum talked about the memorable scene where he removes leeches from his nude body. He said it took many takes, but surprisingly happened early in the shoot – on just the second day. Tatum mentioned he and the scene’s partner, Sandy, had a personal connection, as their children were the same age and attended the same preschool.

Tatum recalled walking onto the set and introducing himself, acknowledging the short amount of time the cast had to get acquainted. He jokingly said he’d be revealing a lot that day. He found it even stranger that Sandy had to deliver a lengthy speech, rather than the more physical task of removing leeches from his backside. He described the whole experience as surreal and dreamlike, almost impossible to explain.

The movie is directed by Aaron and Adam Nee, and the story was written with help from Oren Uziel and Dana Fox, based on the novels of Loretta Sage. While promoting her latest book, author Loretta Sage finds her book tour unexpectedly disrupted when she’s kidnapped by the dangerous Abigail Fairfax (played by Daniel Radcliffe). To make matters more complicated, her publisher has paired her with Alan Caprison, the handsome but not-so-bright model from her book covers, during the tour.

Okay, so picture this: a wildly eccentric billionaire, Fairfax, is convinced that Loretta, our heroine, is unknowingly dropping clues to a *real* hidden treasure. And the cast? Amazing! We’ve got Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Oscar Nunez, Patti Harrison, Bowen Yang, and – get this – Brad Pitt popping up in all sorts of fun roles, from Loretta’s publisher to a seriously skilled CIA agent. It really adds to the craziness of *The Lost City*.
